Fanatec (vibration motors)

[VRracer]

I was wondering about the two vibrtion motors which the Fanatec wheels have and logitec G25/27 do not.
Are there a lot of games that take advantage of the Fanatec vibration motors ? Is it a big plus to have a wheel with the vibration motors over the G25/27 wheels that do not ?

As far as I know, those vibration motors are not game dependant. They only work if your pedals are connected directly to a wheel and those motors are turned on in a wheels menu. They start to work whenever you push the gas pedal.

OH, so they are just for car engine vibation not anything else, like going over bumps and other stuff that could be on a road or impact from hitting other cars..LOL

Are they used for the feel of the gears being changed ?

It can vibrate from both gas and brake in all games if the pedals are connected to the wheel.

Otherwise, on PC:


I hope to see the vibration motors used for additional force feedback (rumble strips, bumps, etc) in the future but I believe that is up to game developers and how they want to implement it ...
